I joined the information integration group at the Information Sciences Institute
as a full-time research scientist after finishing my PhD in Computer Science under Daniel P. Miranker at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to research duties, I organized the AI Seminars at ISI in the calendar year 2017, and co-chaired the HSSUES workshop at the International Semantic Web Conference held in Vienna, Austria in 2017. I am also co-chairing the second edition of the workshop, titled Latent Semantics for the Web (LSW), at the ACM Web Conference held in Lyon, France in 2018.

In our group at ISI, we deal with very challenging datasets that cover a variety of genres, such as tables, graphs, HTML documents from both the Open and Dark Web, natural language documents, and social media documents like tweets, and that span challenging domains such as human trafficking. Our group's work on human trafficking is funded under the DARPA MEMEX program, which has received significant press attention in the last several years (60 minutes, Forbes, Scientific American, WSJ, BBC, Wired,...).

A full list of the projects I work on may be accessed on my ISI page, as well as our group website, where much of our open-source software and datasets, and recent tutorials, including at KDD 2017, ISWC 2017, and AAAI 2018 are also available.

Before graduate school, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with highest honors with a dual undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering and Engineering
Physics. A long version of my CV can be found here,
